Highlights
Sending Canadian soldiers into nursing homes in Ontario and Québec – where the lack of care resources and subsequent deaths caused by COVID-19 was much more pronounced than in other provinces – was a desperate last resort for saving nursing home residents and the image of Canada as a progressive, caring country
Seniors calling out repeatedly for help, rotting food, COVID-19-infected patients put in the same room with those who are healthy, missed meals, seniors left in soiled diapers and linens – these are just some of the things Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel have seen while helping in five longterm care homes in Ontario
The military, called in to help at some of Ontario's worst-hit longterm care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, confirmed what caregivers and family members of those in the homes have been saying for years: there is a crisis in how we care for our seniors
